Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / April 2005Where the hell are the amps on the 05?
Anyone know? Been searching and searching. I have the shaker 500 setup... Trying my damndest to find out where the Aux input jack is, and where I can wire my extra subs. > Anyone know?

SVTKate was saying the amps for her Mach 460 in her Cobra were under her backseat if I recall correctly. You had to remove the seat to get at the amps. Not positive on this... Yeah, mine were there too in the '04. The '05 hides them though... cant find them. >> Anyone know? Been searching and searching.

According to the service manual, the amps for the Shaker 500 subwoofers are located in the doors with the speakers.  SignatureZig-Zag Sure, because why make it easy for people to do what they want to their cars... Does that manual say anything about where the aux port is? > |Anyone know?

Let's see... Here's a thread on this subject that includes a pinout. <http://forums.bradbarnett.net/index.php?showtopic=14039&hl=> Good luck with this. I know there are quite a few people working on enabling AUX input but I haven't heard of anyone actually succeeding as of yet. SignatureZig-Zag I swear, ford is just out to piss me off lately.. One more for you Zig, is there a way to wire in an RCA output to hook up some additional amps for subwoofers without pigtailing off the rear channel speakers? > |Sure, because why make it easy for people to do what they want to their > |cars...

None of the wiring diagrams I've seen indicate a RCA level output. :( SignatureZig-Zag Have you seen any outputs that can be spliced to an aftermarket amp? I know in the 04, I had to buy that silly converter box, cant remember what it was called, had the wiring to tie into the regular signal, and converted it to RCA level. > |I swear, ford is just out to piss me off lately..

There is high (amplified) and low (line) level. RCA is the style of plug usually associated with line level (low) input/output. You can run high level through an RCA plug also. Just look at the plugs on a set of old tower speakers on the back of an old console stereo (think Samsung or Panasonic). RCA all the way. SignatureScott W.

I need to figure out where I can wire in a high to low converter so i can run RCA to the line inputs on my amps. >> and converted it to RCA level. >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > speakers on the back of an old console stereo (think Samsung or > Panasonic).

Though the sound isn't as good. SignatureScott W. '66 HCS Mustang 289 '68 Ranchero 500 302 '69 Mustang Sportsroof 351W ThunderSnake #57 http://home.comcast.net/~vanguard92/ Yes, but where oh where can i splice in? The amps are hidden inside my door panels, and I keep reading that the HU has some fugly molex thing going on thats impossible to tap into. So how do I splice in some more sub goodness without swapping out the HU? >> Youre right..

Use wire taps somewhere in the harness. SignatureScott W.

Yeah, but WHERE in the harness? Theres no diagrams available:-/ > Yeah, but WHERE in the harness? Theres no diagrams available:-/ Go to your friendly neighborhood Ford service dept. and ask'em if they can printout the schematic for the radio wiring. It should have color coding to tell you which wire is which. Or if they won't print it out for you, ask'em if you can just write down what the wiring color codes are. You only need to know the colors for the speakers anyway. The other option is to splice in right at the speaker. disconnect the speaker and tap the plug back to the amp. The problem then is that you have to run two sets of wires. One from the plug to the amp and another from the amp back to the speaker. A double PITA. If the wiring color code is the same at the speaker plug as it is at the HU, then you're in luck and can tap right at the HU. Another option is to get a voltmeter and test each individual wire coming out of the HU. But this would take FOREVER. SignatureScott W.

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >> are >> located in the doors with the speakers. The same as most other high end "factory installed" sound systems. Chrysler used to have an individual amplifier mounted on each individual speaker in the Infinity systems. STUPID!!! Dunno if they still do that. I think the old Ford JBL system did the same. Just another thing you HAVE to go to the dealer for. That's why they do it that way. The dinky 5.25" door speakers used by Chrysler were like $130/piece!! I doubt there is an AUX input or output unless you get an adapter which is probably an aftermarket piece. SignatureScott W.
